Here is the starting point
River Kwai Bridge
1
River Kwai Bridge
Stop: 30 minutes
Guine River Bridge is one of the most famous historical Attractions in North Beach.During the Second World War, King Tai promised to help the Japanese Imperial Army deploy in Thailand in order to avoid war, and the Japanese army used Allied prisoners of war to build railroads across the forests of the Tamil Mountains to provide supplementary supplies to the Japanese troops operating in Myanmar.A large number of Allied prisoners died in labor that year, which is a rather heavy historical memory.
The Guine River Bridge was originally a wooden bridge, which had long been destroyed during the war, and the rail bridge that is now seen, was later rebuilt, so far there are still daily trains passing.Standing on the bridge of the Guine River, watching the beautiful Guine River flowing underneath, it is difficult to imagine the intense war situation of the year, and more hope for world peace forever.
